Dimanche in the park

If I'm staying with M. in the 6th arrondissement, she usually walks me to the RER St.-Michel stationother side of Luxembourg gardens. If it's a Sunday/dimanche... There's no nicer way to depart Paris... Everyone is out in the park on Sunday...

What a perfect way to spend a Sunday! Luxembourg Gardens are splendid anytime of year, non? When my Mom and I were in Paris last April, she bought a crepe and fed most of it to the sweet little sparrows that flitted around her. Cute.

When you go there on a crowded Saturday or Sunday, and you are looking for a chair and can't find one, and..........there are so many people sitting there with TWO chairs, one for their butt and one for their feet (like in your photos).You are not allowed, it is illegal, NO WAY, would you EVER go to one of these people and ask for the chair they are using for their feet. You just don't do that! Those TWO chairs are busy. Case closed! It's a Paris thing. You just have to wait until a chair is free, and if you are lucky enough to get two chairs........hell, I ain't moving................!!!

Do you know, there are a lot of schools all around the Jardin and so when lunch time comes one would see a lot of teenagers eat in front of the main "bassin" or by the tennis courts...I used to go to school rue Saint Sulpice and rue Vavin was the street to get our "formule"....
